Well....Im 16 and my parents (fortunately) are going to buy me a car. My dad surely wants a Toyota or a Lexus. I on the other hand want a car i can really hook up like a Honda. Ive been searching for performance products for a 95-97 Lexus ES300 97-99 camry 95-99 avalon and a 2001 corolla but failed to see many. Hondas have everything you can think of but my dad just simply hates Hondas for two reasons (1) he says that Hondas are like tin-cans with a VTEC and (2) Toyotas were the only cars we bought (96 Camry 00 Camry LE 98 4Runner {sold} and a 98 Landcruiser)
Does any one know where i can get performance products for the ES300 Camry Avalon and the Corolla?? and what would you choose out of the four and why??

Thanx....Sam_i_am

goto www.trdusa.com

www.camryman.org

the lexus has some aftermarket support but only things like suspension intake maybe exhaust and thats about it.

if u get a 97-01 camry get a v6. you can pick up a trd supercharger for $2500-$3500 from toyotaparts4u.com or ebay maybe. camry v6 with the s/c runs mid 14s and 13s if ur a good driver. they also have lsd full suspensions intakes exhausts soon to be headers shortshifters and more!

97-00 Camry V6 5spds are so hard to find and are either expensive or filled up with miles. I think ive decided on the new Corolla S. 1 thing about it though the new S model should have been a lot more sportier then what it is know! the only sport add-ons on the S is black seats and a red lettered guage and another thing air conditioning is a freakin option?? wut the fuck is up with that?

yea a toyota is the way to go.... try to find maybe a 3rd gen celica or something.... maybe an 88 or up .... airbags... also... you can put a million miles on a toyota and it wont die...( trust me ive tried.. ever heard of a neutral drop? yea.. didnt die.) but its a 4 cyl gas saver... i went 150 miles on 4 gallons of gas in my 86 hatchback gt... ive riden in a 92 honda prelude vtec 2.0 si.... its very close to my hatchback... whatever your preference.... gl on your first car!

TRD Solara (http://www.toyota-hawaii.com/section_1_575.asp)

How about a Solara? My buddy used to have the TRD edition. They make a supercharger as well

take it from a corolla nut that performace wise it is hard to come by. A good place to start is monkeywrench.com I believe is the site. The thing about corolla's is no one expects us to have anything, which is great because there jaw drops even lower when we kick there ass.

for corolla got 9thgencorolla.com or corollacarclub.com (there is a guy with a 1zzfe 2001 turbo corolla that loves kicking lexus and honda ass) as well ass vvt-i.net

By the way, there is a corolla with 650 horsepower without NOS, how is that for big ballz under the hood.

must be nice to have daddy buy your first car, IS300 came with the 2JZGE didnt it? well, since this thread is 5 years old I doubt he still has the car daddy bought him.
